#Porkeri (pop. 317) is a #Faroese village on #Suðuroy.
Its name almost certainly derives from #purka - meaning #sow. There's a bit of speculation as to the word’s ending, believed to be a shortened version of #gerði (fenced-in plot of land / enclosure). If correct, #swine would have once been bred here.
